Abstract: | Orobanche hederae Duby and its host Hedera helix L. were collected in the North Italian Trentino-Südtirol region and analyzed for their content of polyacetylenes. Both, the host plant (Hedera) and the parasite (Orobanche) contained the polyacetylene falcarinol and two of its dehydroderivatives. The contents of polyacetylenes in Hedera decrease from roots via stems to leaves and contents in Orobanche are only about one-tenth of the contents in the Hedera roots it parasites on. Moreover, relative contents of the more polar polyacetylenes are higher in Orobanche than in Hedera, implying a bias toward the sequestration of more polar compounds. |
